Re: Finalization of static package variables - summary

[Manuel Collado <m.collado@lml.ls.fi.upm.es>]

Thanks to all who responded. Now it is clear that:

1.- Static packages variables are properly finalized at the end of the 
main task.

2.- There is a problem with JEWL, if modal dialogs are declared as 
static package variables.
2.1.- JEWL doesn't provide an explicit 'close' action for this kind of 
top level windows. It just provides one for 'frames'.
2.2.- After the main procedure ends, there is a deadlock between the 
main (environment) task and the internal JEWL message task (that is 
waiting for finalization of all top level windows).
2.3.- Being static variables, the mentioned modal dialogs cannot be 
'unchecked_deallocated' to force its finalization

To gain the possibility of declaring modal dialogs as static package 
variables, I've patched the JEWL sources to add a 'close()' procedure 
for modal dialogs.

Thanks again.
